I decided to make a new thread because recent events don't really fit into any of the other categories lol. Anyway I was right about 3/4 of my picks (YAAAY COWBOYS LOSE) but obviously wrong about the Jets/Chargers game! Wow! Everyone knows I'm a Giants/Jets fan but I didn't think my green team had a chance. I'm actually kind of sad because I don't think the Jets' luck can continue much longer; I believe the Chargers had a better chance of winning it all. However like CC said, this is the NFL and anything can happen (See: Pats vs. Giants SuperBowl ... sorry but mentioning that just never gets old lol).

Anyway I think the Vikings are unfortunately going to beat the Saints, though I'll be rooting for the Saints. And I think the Colts will dominate the Jets, though of course I'd like for the Jets to win. A Jets vs. Saints Super Bowl would be ideal and hilarious lol (the wife's a NO fan) but meh. If either team makes it, I'll be happy. If not, it's still been a great season.

As a Packers fan, I've got mixed feelings about the Vikings. Still, I prefer them to the Saints and feel good about their chances. I've got no interest in any other match-ups, though, and only ever watch non-Packers games when my girlfriend makes me haha.

American football is proper football. We are taking the name to force the rest of you to come up with a more creative name (I mean really, "football" for a game that you kick a ball with your feet? You can do better).

Football implies feet are involved.

In American football you only punt,the ball is otherwise handled. It should be named "Throwball", or "Catchball". "Handball" has already been taken.

There is also field goals. And that doesn't address the point of having to come up with a creative name. I mean, the word "soccer" has nothing to do with what the sport is, that makes it creative. (don't look at "baseball" or "racket ball" or "basketball" or most other sports, just look at this one example with no relationship to anything else) :P

I would love to see Favre/Manning in the superbowl, but I'll settly for Brees/Manning. Either way I hope ol' dogface Manning gets beat.

It's actually a ridiculous story that has nothing to do with the team. I was constantly picked on as a kid and my cousin thought that would stop if I followed sports. He asked me what my favorite team was and the Packers were the only ones I could think of. The lie forced me to start watching them and I became a legitimate fan. It didn't help with the teasing, though haha.

B/c indy let them.

And the Steelers; if the had beat one of the following: Chiefs, Raiders, or Browns--the Steelers make it and the Jets stay home.

And the Texans. Had they beat the Jets in Week One, or h#ll, if they had beaten ANY OTHER TEAM during the season that they had lost to, (I mean, only 1 loss this season, other than the Jets loss, had a deficit as big as 8 points), they would of been in and the Jets would have stayed home.

If the Bengals had actually showed up the last week of the season, the Texans STILL would of gotten in.
